The Bible says you are either in Adam or you are in Christ.
If you are in Adam, you are condemned already, dead in your sins (see Jn. 3, Rom. 5).
If you are in Christ, you are alive with Christ, seated in the heavenlies already (see Eph. 2).
It's about death crossing over into Life by believing in Christ, friend.
And then Fruit that flows out of that Life. Deeds that have been prepared for us in advance for us to do led by the Spirit of God Himself, fulfilled by love, which is the Fruit of His Spirit, not mere works of the flesh (see Eph. 2, Gal. 5).
You are just one more preaching Law, and the Law is not of faith (Gal. 3), and without faith, it is impossible to please God (Heb. 11).

Why yes you finely noticed I dodge all your stupid questions. Like the plague of death.
God told me I do not have to answer any stupid questions.
you think the gospel is stupid?
foolishness to the gentiles, a stumbling stone to the jews.
is the gospel the mercy of God towards mankind?
or the reward of man's work, effort, and desire?
is salvation earned? or is salvation given freely?
can a man boast of anything, or should he be always humble?
How about the Righteousness of Christ?
Does His Righteousness exceed the righteousness of the Pharisees?
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God.
9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! 11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
16 Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. 17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
(from Rom. 5)

How about God's Righteousness?
Is God's Righteousness a righteousness that exceeds the righteousness of the Pharisees?
21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
(from 2 Cor. 5)
(from 2 Cor. 5)
Because that's the Righteousness that those in Christ have - Christ's Righteousness (which is also God's Righteousness, because Jesus is God).
Unless they were in Christ, receiving the free gifts of Forgiveness, Righteousness, and New Life, they were rejected.
Everyone who believes in Christ is accepted by God. See Jn. 3 and Rom. 10.

LexKnight...you cannot take only a few books of the BIBLE only and completely disregard the rest...that would be cutting yourself short of a ton of spiritual knowledge that GOD has easily enough provided for YOU. Who wrote the book of ROMANS? Why it was from a former CHRISTIAN killer, enslaver who, by the very touch of JESUS CHRIST Himself, set a course for Saul, now Paul's life that made him the 1st CHRISTIAN missionary to the world outside of the Jewish community. There are gems and fantastic gleanings that come from ALL books in GOD's Word...never tell anyone that all they have to do is what you perceive as being the only way. Remember, Jesus' own apostles came to HIM and informed Him about someone else who was also preaching, teaching and baptizing in His name...and that they should be 'ratted out". JESUS calmed them down by saying "If they are not doing anything against Me, they are doing it FOR Me!"..Basically, to leave them alone as GOD uses all walks of life, including donkeys, for HIS purposes.

You can do this, and still fall so far short of his standard. You will still be lost.
Try trusting him and letting him change you..

No stupid. I think you are stupid.
Were you smart enough to know this I think about you?
No you were not.
I asked Jesus about this you said here to me where you even
contradicted yourself in just 3 sentences.
Jesus said you have never in all your life
obeyed His commandments. You would not know.
